Instagram already has a function that automatically generates subtitles, transcribing the dialogues that appear in the videos published through this social network into text. In some cases, users must activate this option beforehand, and the same happens when the user wants the video they publish to have these automatic subtitles.
Automatic subtitles are available in 17 languages, including Spanish
Spanish is one of the 17 languages in which Instagram offers auto-generated captions, along with German, Arabic, French, Hindi, Indonesian, English, Italian, Malay Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Urdu and Vietnamese.
On both iPhone and Android, the procedure to activate (or deactivate) automatic subtitles is the same:
